Wheels of Happiness
Rizal Philippines
December 23, 2016
Before I rode out yesterday with the Bianchi bike, its handling and safety was suspect. The head post and the steerer were loose. I tried to tighten this but everything came loose. The flower together with the bolt for the headpost came out.
So I removed the stem from steering post, and examined the flower. The flower petals were all tightly compressed. So I took a long nose plier and tried to straighten out the flower by 2 to 3 mm or about the same amount of degrees. Then having determined that the flower were exact or slightly tighter fit, I drove down the flower using the long nose plier, and the head post bolt to drive down the flower.
I tried reinstalling the head post and the stem, and everything was nice and tight. I was able to ride today using the Bianchi bike and saved about a P100 in repair bills.
How nice
